I dont want to snow on anybody's parade or anything, but advent actually started last Sunday week. What you are talking about is the first day in December, which happens to coincide with the first day on those open-the-door-and-find-a-chocolate calendars, miscalled advent calendars, when they are just month calendars.

Hello Anonymous! you do of course speak the truth, the way it falls we should all have been lighting our little candles already, the snowy excitment led to seasonal excitment despite trying to lay off too many Christmas related posts, happy belated advent might have been better!

Ballad of the Londoner by James Elroy Flecker

Evening falls on the smoky walls, And the railings drip with rain,And I will cross the old river To see my girl again.

The great and solemn-gliding tram, Love's still-mysterious car,Has many a light of gold and white, And a single dark red star.I know a garden in a street Which no one ever knew;I know a rose beyond the Thames, Where flowers are pale and few.
